Hello,

I have recently discoverd NetBSD for the Macintosh 68k machines.  I am well
aware that NetBSD has only been tested on Mac IIs but I was hoping you
might be able to help w/ my problem.  I am attempting to run Net BSD on my
PB 540c w/ 36MB of RAM.  Setup a 150Mb partition for the Root file system
and a 36MB Swap partition.  I inflated all the standard binaries found in
"mac68k/binary" When I start to boot this is what comes up in the Booter's
window:


Autobooting after  10 seconds.  (SCSI ID = 0)
Booting...MID_M68K executable:  entry 0x1818.
Malloced 983192 bytes.

Set _boothowto to 0x2.
envbuf - buf = 906732 (0xdd5ec).
    Bye-bye...
                                                                So I sez to
him...  The real way
                                                                that it
should be done is to...

After that it askes me if I'm sure I want to boot.  I click <Boot> and then
the main concole comes up with this:

Bad string table index (0x25401be)
[ preserving 89324 bytes of netbsd symbol table ]
Bootstrapping NetBSD/mac68k.
Faked range to byte 0x2400000.
Bootstrapping the pmap system.
Pmap bootstrapped.
panic: Don't know how to relocate video!

Stopped at                      _Debugger+0x6:  unlk

db>

It then hangs at the prompt.  Sometimes it spews out some hex-code from the
debugger.  I wasn't smart enough to write it down when I got the error.
Could please give some help w/ this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

George Wilson
